Barry Manilow covers himself in new album

On his last two albums, Barry Manilow tackled songs made famous by Elvis Presley, the Beatles, Frank Sinatra and other greats. But his new album presented a real challenge: covering himself.

“Trying to redo ‘Mandy,' trying to redo ‘I Write the Songs' - it was the most complicated thing I'd ever done in my life,” he says.
